Project Description

Last summer, we sent a call for submissions out for northerners to share their personal essays, critical essays, poetry, and short stories about experiences of mental health recovery in the north. Now, this special issue is coming together, and we are hosting an evening launch party on Wednesday, August 17!! Local contributors will be on hand to do readings of their published pieces; athlete and mental health advocate, Buddy Green, will speak to his experiences; local artisans who produce Northern Ontario-themed creations will be showcasing their work, and more!

More details to come soon. Be sure to like and follow us on Facebook for see all the details as they become available.

Testimonials

"It’s a warm, friendly environment that feels like a home away from home. I haven’t been able to paint at home for the last six months, but I can find enough inner peace at NISA to be creative and active as a painter."

"Over the past week your warm line workers have provided me with great care and support. Thank-you."
